• Abstract summary: The Visual Domain Adaptation (VisDA) 2021 competition tests models' ability to adapt to novel test distributions. We will evaluate adaptation to novel viewpoints, backgrounds, modalities and degradation in quality. Performance will be measured using a rigorous protocol, comparing to state-of-the-art domain adaptation methods.

• Abstract: Progress in machine learning is typically measured by training and testing a model on the same distribution of data, i.e., the same domain. This over-estimates future accuracy on out-of-distribution data. The Visual Domain Adaptation (VisDA) 2021 competition tests models' ability to adapt to novel test distributions and handle distributional shift. We set up unsupervised domain adaptation challenges for image classifiers and will evaluate adaptation to novel viewpoints, backgrounds, modalities and degradation in quality. Our challenge draws on large-scale publicly available datasets but constructs the evaluation across domains, rather that the traditional in-domain bench-marking. Furthermore, we focus on the difficult "universal" setting where, in addition to input distribution drift, methods may encounter missing and/or novel classes in the target dataset. Performance will be measured using a rigorous protocol, comparing to state-of-the-art domain adaptation methods with the help of established metrics. We believe that the competition will encourage further improvement in machine learning methods' ability to handle realistic data in many deployment scenarios.

  Domain adaptation (DA) aims to provide frameworks for adapting models to deployment data without using labels. Unclear validation protocol for DA has led to bad practices in the literature. We show challenges across all three branches of domain adaptation methodology.

  Source-free domain adaptation (SFDA) aims to adapt a well-trained source model to an unlabelled target domain without accessing the source dataset. Existing SFDA methods ONLY assess their adapted models on the target training set, neglecting the data from unseen but identically distributed testing sets. We propose a consistency regularization framework to develop a more generalizable SFDA method.

  This paper introduces a teacher-student framework to improve the cross-domain performance of face PAD with one-class domain adaptation. Student networks are trained to mimic the teacher network and learn similar representations for genuine face samples of the target domain. In the test phase, the similarity score between the representations of the teacher and student networks is used to distinguish attacks from genuine ones.

  Domain Adaptation aims to transfer the knowledge learned from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain whose data distributions are different. Recently, Source-Free Domain Adaptation (SFDA) has drawn much attention, which tries to tackle domain adaptation problem without using source data. In this work, we propose a novel framework called SFDA-DE to address SFDA task via source Distribution Estimation.

  We propose an instance affinity based criterion for source to target transfer during adaptation, called ILA-DA. We first propose a reliable and efficient method to extract similar and dissimilar samples across source and target, and utilize a multi-sample contrastive loss to drive the domain alignment process. We verify the effectiveness of ILA-DA by observing consistent improvements in accuracy over popular domain adaptation approaches on a variety of benchmark datasets.
